Spinning Plates in October

I am so grateful to welcome November.  I just about collapsed by October's end.  Frankly, I was spinning far too many plates.  The danger with the plate spinning is that it is an art I haven't mastered well.  While our family buzzed about in a freenzy of activity, I was worn to exhaustion.  The pace resulted in a migraine that put me in bed at my in laws last Friday afternoon and lasted 14 hours.  BUT- as I look over our calendar and pictures from the month, I have to say we lived October fully and with joy.

This month I have called in some troops to help manage our schedule and to do lists so that I can enjoy this special time of the year.  I am taking advantage of their assistance and giving myself some "self care." Happy November!
